I watched Carson as a kid. When Dave came on back then he was edgy and harsh, loved him. Now Dave you have become as Carson. It's been a pleasure to watch over the decades. Wish I could have been there to see it live once.
Not as good as watching him on TV. He plays right to the camera. I went to a live taping when he was at the Ed Sullivan Theater and he never looked at the crowd.
Blooming Onion5 Gamming what you said is very funny. Rather Letterman style of humor which is and always has been my favorite. I'm still laughing at what you realized. TV show for you?
his authenticity is really endearing to me, he's being blunt but doesn't come across petty and mean like seinfeld can when he's being overly honest. good interview
He didn't realize at the time that people were quite happy to just hear him talk. The stunts and crazy stuff he did was cool, but the best part of the show was always right after the monologue when he'd sit behind the desk and just talk about stuff that was going on. And that was every night. Whenever the interviews didn't go well, it was because the guests were boring and/or a***holes.
I grew up a huge Leno fan, and still am. He is one of the greatest comedians ever. David Letterman is the king though, because he gave more comedians their shot. Also I found out about a dead comedian while tuning into a random Late Show one night. His name is my all time favorite comedian, Bill Hicks.
How life was so different back then. No cell phones, no internet. I was graduating from high school. This is the year I wish I could go back to because this is the year I would live my life differently.
Interesting to see younger more serious, focussed, buttoned up, ambitious Dave. 10 years later he'd totally relaxed into himself I think. Less and less of the skits, more and more of just him talking, story telling, being 100% himself. By the end of CBS, whether it be age, his heart ops, the infidelity scandals, becoming a Dad.. he was just better at everything and also seemed a much happier and better human being. His Netflix shows are superb.
I remember the scandal, him sleeping with a staff member. I was thinking he wasn't married at the time, so it wouldn't have been infidelity. I'm not telling you you're wrong, I'm probably mistaken myself. I do remember him handling it as well as a person could. Someone tried to blackmail him, instead of trying to pay them to keep it quiet, he immediately went to the authorities and just admitted it. I don't feel he owed anyone an apology except the folks in his personal life that he felt he owed one to. I hate when a celebrity is expected to publicly apologize when something like that happens. I don't care if he's banging a dozen chicks a day, it's none of my business.
It was more or less the same as Charlie Rose got sacked for. Lucky for Dave he outed himself because of the extortion and it was before metoo. What Charlie Rose did was wrong and so embarrassing, sad dirty old man stuff. Especially as he spent so many hours talking about people like Clinton doing exactly the same... what was he thinking ffs?! The world of long form interview is poorer without him but he brought it on himself.
Chrissakes would it have killed you channel to at the very lease synch up the audio? I love Dave & Rose was always an A-list interviewer. Great stuff here.
Glad I got to be alive during what I deem as one of the greatest eras to ever happen. Carson, Leno, and of course David Letterman. These people relate to hard times. Phenomenal at what they do. Creativity abounds. Happy retirement Dave! Time to drive all those Ferrari. If you need any help, give a call. LOL
It's 2 guys in a dark room sitting at a table. There's almost literally nothing to look at. Turn away from the screen, treat it like audio only & just listen. What does it matter if the lips are out of sync with the audio? It continues to amaze me how hugely hostile people get about things that don't matter.
It wouldn't be too hard to fix the syncing problem. There's some very interesting, insightful, and entertaining things in these programs, it's a shame that it isn't being clearly communicated. Please take the time to fix it. It would mean a lot to your audience.
The same people that hacked personal cell phones and posted naked photos of celebrities, are the one's who knocked the video and audio of this posting out of sync. They must be stopped.
He keeps trying to light his cigar which is annoying. Man you are being interviewed by Charlie. He is funny and concise. He makes Charlie laugh. Too bad about not being considered enough for Johnny's successsor and the experience with Michael Jordan. He lasted quite awhile anyway. Thanks Dave and utube.
Charles Peete "Charlie" Rose, Jr. (Henderson, Carolina del Norte; 5 de enero de 1942) es un locutor y periodista de la televisión estadounidense. Desde 1991 ha sido anfitrión de Charlie Rose, un programa de entrevistas transmitido nacionalmente por la PBS desde 1993. También trabaja en This Morning de CBS, desde enero de 2012. Rose, junto con Lara Logan, ha sido anfitrión del revivido clásico de la CBS Person to Person, un programa de noticias en el que las celebridades son entrevistadas en sus hogares, mientras que Edward R. Murrow fue originalmente su anfitrión de 1953 a 1961.
Dave's merit-based attitude about getting the Tonight Show job strikes me as funny. He never trusted network executives and often openly derided them on his show. Dave, they *didn't* know what they were doing. You should've had that show.
They knew exactly what they were doing. Bosses don't like subordinates who deride them and call them weasels and dopes. They knew Jay would get good ratings and be easier to deal with.
@@jamesanthony5681 My point was about the quality of the performers (I prefer Dave :)). Yes; from a network executive's standpoint what they did makes perfect sense. They picked the company man. I think Dave's show would've been far more entertaining though. Hence, they "didn't know what they were doing."
@@leonardstilwell1894 I would have preferred Dave as well. Honestly, I don't think I watched a full hour of Leno's show, I guess it's because Jay had people like Ahmad Rashad, Matt Leblanc, Sally Field and Joey Lawrence on his program. I don't think I ever saw them on Letterman.
One of the greatest hosts and entertainers of all-time but just noticed something I never realized before this interview…. His mouth can barely keep up with his thoughts and clearly this is not the only generation hooked on “speed.”
Who could have thought these two guys were simultaneously behaving inappropriately under the guise of enlightened urban sophisticates, treating women deplorably.
@@TimNelson I watched Charlie Rose every night, and in 2008 or 2009, thereabouts, he appeared on his show with a black eye, cuts and bruises on his face. Like he'd been in a fight. His female producer said at the time that he'd been walking down a NYC street absentmindedly reading his iphone, when he stepped into a pothole, tripped, and fell face first on the pavement. "I can even show you the blood on his phone," she said. I thought 'BS, he was in a fight, but why make up a story'? I bet he was beaten up by the husband, boyfriend, brother or father of one of those female interns.
letterman asserting that'd be a success no matter what, with or without carson..not so sure about that dave. most never get that break for a king who likes you.
He was just a good producer. He didn't want two shows on the air that were identical clones of each other. Let's face it, Dave succeeded for all the reasons that he wasn't like Johnny. And even when Dave started doing monologues, they were a poor imitation of Carson's. Dave dropping watermelons off of tall buildings is what made him a fan favorite. Johnny did nothing but help him succeed.
I doubt it. Dave did not fraternize with the rich and famous. He is well known for being reclusive, although he did get involved with staff but that is not against the law.
Tough as nails. I went to the taping of his fifth-to-last show at NBC, and when they went to commercial the smile just dropped and it was all business.
For goodness' sake. What with Letterman trying to make a joke out of every question and Rose laughing at every breath, this just comes across as a nervous geek and a sycophant. There's not much information here - I'm none the wiser!
That's what funny young guys do when they're nervous - crack jokes. He has to hear someone laugh in order to know that he's being entertaining. If you watch old B&W shows with Johnny Carson before he was on The Tonight Show, you'd see the same thing. (I won't mind if you say, "Ok Boomer' because I'm so blessed to have watched so much Johnny Carson AND David Letterman)
![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
Watched him on his morning show in September 1980, lost so much sleep over the years!
I watched Carson as a kid. When Dave came on back then he was edgy and harsh, loved him. Now Dave you have become as Carson. It's been a pleasure to watch over the decades. Wish I could have been there to see it live once.

I saw his fifth to last show at NBC; he's all business between segments. More interesting for tiny studio.
I will always love Dave, my favorite comedian of the last 60 years, with Steve Martin and the SCTV crew a distant second.
Had such a big crush on both these men as a young girl. I miss them both.
I know hes not glamorous, but I cant help finding Letterman one of the most charismatic figures on tv.
Spot on. He’s sorta goofy but also intriguing.
How is this comment 12 years old when the video is only 7 years old?????
@@bloominonion5gaming881 That's a damn good question. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. How the hell does that happen, after all?
Blooming Onion5 Gamming what you said is very funny. Rather Letterman style of humor which is and always has been my favorite. I'm still laughing at what you realized. TV show for you?
Jimmo13 I completely agree on Daves charisma. Sly and funny.
So well spoken. Charlie too.
Great interview, but I wish the sound was synched with the video
LOL, me too. I find it hard to believe this is an official channel and not some rando's VHS tape upload.
Good to listen to.. but not to watch:( but its here and I got to listen to it:)
@@jedijones geez, good point. I thought it was the random VHS upload....didn't notice it was official til I saw your post
David is a brilliant man.
TV in the 80s and 90s was, somehow, underrated. I miss every aspect of it.
his authenticity is really endearing to me, he's being blunt but doesn't come across petty and mean like seinfeld can when he's being overly honest. good interview
He’s proof you can be straightforward and not sugar coat without injecting your “truth-telling” with piss and vinegar like Seinfeld would.
Good comment, David. Two intelligent people conversing is good television.
He didn't realize at the time that people were quite happy to just hear him talk. The stunts and crazy stuff he did was cool, but the best part of the show was always right after the monologue when he'd sit behind the desk and just talk about stuff that was going on. And that was every night. Whenever the interviews didn't go well, it was because the guests were boring and/or a***holes.
Charlie Rose ruled when it came to interviewing the coolest people in the World.
This video has been out of sync for over seven years.
Judging by the beard, Letterman has been pissing in the sink for over 7 years.
Better than doing it out a second story window.....ya think?
@@cragway But Dave never takes the dishes out of the sink first.
@@oxalek8220 Dude that right there is funny.
DAVID LETTERMAN WAS GREAT GUEST ON AN HOUR BACK IN 1996 !!!!

Also I found out about a dead comedian while tuning into a random Late Show one night. His name is my all time favorite comedian, Bill Hicks.
Best talk show host ever bar none even dare I say it Carson. He is missed...

Loved Tom Synder, Johnny was the greatest of all time, Dave is second on my list. But Leno? He no where near those legends
@@billdoty6438 what don't you like about Leno?
happy 72th birthday david michael letterman !!!!
He finally managed to fire that cigar.
Dave showed the world that being yourself is normal . Haters just hate the fact that they dont know how
this comment should have.. like a million likes!! well stated!👍🎵
That's right they have some false image to maintain not real people though they don't care.
This will be funnier if you see a photo of Carson's attorney's hairpiece
Why is the audio-video sync off?
It's 2 guys in a dark room sitting at a table. There's almost literally nothing to look at. Turn away from the screen, treat it like audio only & just listen. What does it matter if the lips are out of sync with the audio? It continues to amaze me how hugely hostile people get about things that don't matter.
I couldn't agree more!
Yeah, who needs to look at their facial expressions or hand gestures for emphasis? God forbid!
Since 70 % of all communication is non verbal, what is not said matters much more than wat is said.
70% eh? So mute the audio and the show will be 2 1/3 times better
God bless Dave.
Will you light the damn cigar already? You're making us all jumpy!
I miss you Dave.
When I was young in the middle 1980’s a girl my age from church said that she liked watching David Letterman but she didn’t know why.
I miss Charlie Rose. Can't he be given a second chance?
What the heck was Dave doing with the matches?
love dave
He finally managed to light up his cigar at 38 minutes after 2 failed attempts
I died when he kept lighting his blank

Which episode?
Audio sync is horrible.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
22:33 So is 11:30pm and 12:30am different or not?
Both Conan and Dave say it’s not different and then make a big thing about moving to 11:30pm.
More people early. So yah. 60 min is a long time 😊
